Dan Orlovsky: 2-3 years before the Cowboys are relevant again

[JoeKing]

Dan Orlovsky has never been relevant. Why do we care what he says?

I get that some of you don’t like hearing stuff like this from a clown reporter, but oh how so many of us wanted to gut the team after the Packers loss, me being one of them. In hindsight, I do believe the right move would have been to start the rebuild at that point. Resigning Dak was the worst mistake of all time IMO, nothing against Dak. Just he probably would have benefitted from a reset on another team while giving the Cowboys a chance to clean up some of its salary cap issues. I would have traded both Lamb and Parsons as well and go full tank for a season or two. But I also understand the desperation of an 81 year old owner running out of time to prove the world wrong. Foolish is as foolish does.

The Cowboys would have to give a team their first round pick just to take on Dak’s contract. No team’s ownership is giving the Cowboys anything for an oft injured, 32 year old quarterback on a $60 million per year contract.

Jerry didn’t make that contract - that ******* Johnny Walker Blue did.

Yeah they really screwed up by extending him

Just mind boggling dumb

As shocking as this might be, Dak is more highly regarded around the league than he is on this board. The league views Jerry and his boy as the problem not Dak. Even coming off an injury, Dak has big value; particularly this offseason with such a weak draft class of QBs. There are 4 teams courting Stafford and he's 37 years old looking for a new contract in the same neighborhood as Dak. Dak's age isn't a problem at all.

Stafford has a SB win. Dak has a losing record in the playoffs and has never sniffed the SB. These things matter. Those teams courting Stafford aren't giving up anything close to what you think Dak is worth. I know Dak is a good QB. I also know that he craps the bed too much when it counts. Crapping the bed when it counts doesn't get you two 1st round picks and then some.

The Cowboys are in trouble because the Eagles and Lions have deep talented young rosters. When you look at young up and coming teams like Green Bay, Minnesota, Chicago, Washington; Seattle, ect. The Cowboys will have to hit on a few drafts to get back in it.

Don't forget the Bucs.

I’ve never met Jerry Jones. I have met JWB. Your sentiment is very easy to believe.

 

[Jipper]

Could be 1 could be 5 could be 10.

These morons know nothing

 

[nightrain]

Can't argue with that.

Stafford was 34 when he won his first playoff game. Prior to that , he was just big stats guy like Dak.

 

[fivetwos]

Their entire plan is predicated on never busting a first round pick, and counting on several mid-round types to become solid starters….and pretty much immediately.

How is that ever going to happen?

Oh wait…let me guess….McClay is the highest paid in the league for his title, so he is supposed to perform above and beyond his capability.

Sounds familiar.

Stafford played on crappy Detroit teams, whereas Dak had a few years of a good deal of talent surrounding him and failed. It’s not all his fault, but some of it is. Everyone also knew Stafford had elite arm talent.

That's just not true!

Wait, maybe it is!!!!!!!!!

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

This is the most hope I have had in a while. Dan is a moron and almost always wrong. Even though the odds are in his favor.

 

[JayFord]

Dan Orlovsky could tell me the sky is blue and I would bust out laughing

I’ll listen to SAS before I listen to him

 

[StarOfGlory]

That's just not true!

Wait, maybe it is!!!!!!!!!

Hey, don’t disrespect the best QB ever from the Univ. of Connecticut!

Not really. This team is a top heavy flawed team every year with no depth anywhere. We rarely beat good teams and have been propped up by 4 easy wins every year against NYG and Washington. It's really an 8-9 win roster and you see that when they get flattened in the playoffs.

Dak has value on the open market. It's just not happening bc we are run by delusional men who think the team have a chance every year.

Giants are talking to Stafford now. Compensation that is being discussed is a 2nd round pick. Dak certainly has value but not as much as you believe—certainly not two 1st round picks. But I’m with you with our “brain” trust. They want to keep to the delusion of being around the rim every year and hope the team catches fire at the right time.
